Template:Geobox Feteira is a civil parish in the municipality of Angra do Heroísmo in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. The population in 2001 was 1044 inhabitants, in an area of approximately 3.08 square kilometres (1.19 sq mi): there were about 339 residents per kilometre square.
History
Feterira became an independent administrative territory by decree on 30 November 1906.[1]
The Church of Nossa Senhora da Consolação was officially re-inaugurated on 20 May 1968, after damage from the 1980 earthquake that inflicted damage and ruin to the central group of islands.[1]
There were approximately 403 homes in 1991.[1]
Geography
The rural parish is located 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from the municipal seat of Angra do Heroísmo. The geographic limits of the parish include the parish of Porto Judeu (to the east), Ribeirinha (to the north and west), while it fronts the the Atlantic Ocean (to the south).[1] Feteira is relatively small, located between the ocean and neighboring parishes: its territorial extent is 3.08 square kilometres (1.19 sq mi), the smallest civil parish on the island.[1]
Although the population has decreased, current statistics indicate a leveling of out-migration.[1]
